Services Digital Learning and L&D Strategy Advisory
Senior L&D advice, without a full time hire
Many organisations have an HR team and an LMS, but nobody whose job is learning strategy or learning technology. The decisions still need making.
We fill that gap on a flexible basis, as an independent adviser. With no platform, content library or vendor to sell, our only interest is the decision that is right for you.
The questions that usually land on an HR generalist's desk.
Sound familiar?
A full time hire is hard to justify, but the decisions keep piling up.
Digital learning decisions are made by HR generalists without specialist input
Your LMS was bought but never fully set up, so much of it goes unused
Reports exist, but nobody is sure what they say or whether to trust them
Staff already use AI tools, and there is no plan for how they fit with your learning
Vendors are pitching, and nobody internally can assess them
Your L&D person left and took the knowledge with them
What we advise on
Strategy, technology and the decisions in between
Advice is focused on decisions and direction. Where hands on work is needed, we scope it separately, so you only pay for what you need.

Where learning effort and investment will make the biggest difference, and what to stop doing.
LMS set up and reporting
How your system should be configured, and what your reports should tell leadership.
Fix, replace and vendor decisions
Whether a new platform is really needed, and an independent read of vendor proposals and tenders.
AI in learning
How AI tools can sit alongside your existing systems and people, safely and usefully.
Compliance training governance

Acting on recommendations

Who it is for
Organisations without a learning specialist
Typically 150+ staff, with a small HR team and limited dedicated learning capacity. Common triggers include an L&D person leaving, a new LMS being implemented, leadership wanting to improve digital learning, or a learning system review that identifies more opportunities than the team has capacity to deliver.

Questions people usually ask
Do you build training plans or calendars as part of advisory?
Advisory is focused on decisions and direction. Where hands on work is needed, we scope it separately so you only pay for what you need.
Can you help us choose a new LMS?
Yes. We can help you decide whether replacement is needed at all, then define requirements and assess vendor proposals independently.
Do you receive commissions from vendors?
No. We have no platform, content library or vendor to sell, and we do not take referral fees, so our advice stays independent.
How do sessions run?
On Teams or in person in Adelaide, around a specific question or decision you bring. You receive a short written summary of the advice and agreed next steps.
Can we start with a session and move to the monthly option later?
Yes. Many clients start with a single session, then move to Advisory Partner once they see where ongoing support would help.
Facing a learning decision and want an independent view?
Book a short conversation. No pitch, and if we are not the right fit, we will say so.
